That passionate young woman who questioned Donald Trump in New Hampshire? She’s a volunteer for Jeb
Source: Washington Post
MANCHESTER, N.H. One of the most memorable questions that Donald Trump took during a bipartisan convention here on Monday came from a college student.
"So, maybe I'm wrong, maybe you can prove me wrong," said Lauren Batchelder, a student at St. Anselm College in Manchester. "But I don't think you're a friend to women."
... As Trump supporters googled Batchelder's name, they found a resume listing "intern at Jeb Bush for President 2016" and a Twitter feed containing pro-Bush tweets. Daniel Scavino Jr., a senior adviser to Trump, accused Bush of having "planted" an intern at the event. Conservative blogs quickly picked up the story.
... Allie Brandenburger, a spokeswoman for Bush's campaign, said Batchelder is not a paid staff member and attended the convention on her own. "While this question was not sanctioned by the campaign," Brandenburger said in an e-mail Tuesday morning, "we can't help but notice Mr. Trump does seem to be very sensitive about being challenged by women."

Actually Graham has more respect in most circles...

(24,979 posts)It would be different if she were a paid employee, but a volunteer for one who goes and attacks the other is behaving with a consistent, if in this case misguided ethos. (As if Jeb is a friend to women!) She's obviously speaking to a reality of Trump the person as well Trump the politician.
